This invention relates to an improvement I I 11 pivoted in hairwavefi'or curlers of the type described and showitin Patent No.1,739,301 granted on December 10, 1929, to Abraham Goodman and'myself. 1

That device comprises a pair of cpoperating members between which thehair is engaged and on which the'hair is wound, said cooperating membershaving associated therewith a pivoted wire loop member which is adaptedto be swung into position to main-1 tain the hair wound upon thecooperating members, the ends of the wire loop member being inturned andforming a pivot for the 16 cooperating members.

While this construction is simple and inexpensive to manufacture, it issubject to the disadvantage that the pivot may be readily disengaged andthat the two cooperating members are not held firmly in place, with theresult that they may be displaced laterally relatively to each other andthus have a tendency to cut or injure the hair.

It is the object of the present. invention to overcome thesedisadvantages by the provision of a device of this type in which thecooperating members are so pivoted and fastened as to prevent anyobjectionable lateral movement.

The invention embodies the provision of a pivot pin which extendstransversely through the cooperating members and projects outwardslightly at either side thereof, and the revision of securing eyes atthe ends of the oop member, said eyes being mounted on the ends of thepivot pin to provide a pivotal mounting for the loop member and to holdthe cooperating members against lateral movement, the ends of the pivotpin being headed to maintain the parts in position.

Other novel and distinctive features of the invention wifirappear fromthe following description thereof, reference being had to theaccompanying drawings illustrating a preferred embodiment, in whichFigure 1 is a side elevation of the device; Fig. 2- is a plan viewthereof; and, Fig. 3 is an enlarged cross-sectional view taken on theline 3-3 of Fig. 1.

Referring now to the drawings, the device swung toward or away :twocooperating 10; ai1d together by means of agiivotpin 12.; The member 10.is of tubular; orm, and

comprises the member 11 is of concavo-convex cross section so formed asto fit over the member :10. These members are preferably made of lightQweight sheet metal, such as aluminium sheet ing. Said members. 10 and11 are" formed w th ears 13 and 14. having perforations through whichthe pivot pin extends. .-.The ears Hand 14 are located considerablynearer one end of the cooperating members thanthe other so as to providea short finger grip portion 15 at oneside of the pivotal pointand arelatively longer hair winding portion at the other side thereof. Asuitable spring 16 is disposed between the finger grip portions, whichspring acts normally to press the two cooperating members together.

17 is a loop of wire having its sides extending in spaced relation tothe hair winding portion of the members 10 and 11. Securing eyes 18 areformed at both ends of the wire loop 17 said eyes being preferablyformed by coiling or bending the ends of the wire.

The pivot pin 12 passes through these eyes and is headed at both ends 20to fasten the parts in position so that the loop may be from thecooperating members.

This mode ofconstruction fastens the parts firmly together in suchmanner as to prevent objectionable lateral displacement of the members10 and 11 relatively to each other. It will be seen that should themember 11 become laterally displaced in relation to the membe'r 10 itwill no longer fit over the latter but one of its edges will bear downon said member thus tending to cut the ends of the hair, particularly asthe spring 16 acts to urge the members together with considerable force.s

In operation, the ends of the hair are gripped between the members 10and 11 and Y the hair is then wound or coiled thereon by a rotarymovement of the device. After the hair has been wound or coiled on saidmembers, the loop 17 is swung into operative position to bind andmaintain the hair in place.

It is to be understood that modifications in the details hereindescribed may be made within the scope of the appended claim. What Iclaim is: A hair waver comprising two cooperating members between whichthe ends of the hair.

are engaged and about which the hair is wound, resilient means betweenthe members at the outer ends thereof to urge the opposite ends of themembers toward one another, said members having pairs of overlappingears at their sides and between the ends thereof, a

fixed pin extending transversely through said ears and having headedends which latter arespaced from the outer ears, and a loop of wire forholding the hair wound on said members, said loop having each of itsends coiled around the pivot pin to supportlthe loop for independentpivotal movement rel ative to said members, the heads of the pin beingtightly engaged with the coiled ends of the loop so as to tightly holdthe coils against the ad acent ears and the latter against one another.
